Summary

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy in men. Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Prostate Biopsy (TRUSG-PBx) is considered the gold standard method. The present, Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy is considered the gold standard method in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. During the process, patients experience severe discomfort and pain, although anesthetics and analgesics are used. In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods are also used in the control of pain caused by diagnosis and treatment interventions. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is among the non-pharmacological methods and it is the most widely used electroanalgesia method. In this randomized controlled intervention research, the effect of TENS application will be evaluated on pain, complications and comfort level during and after the procedure in patients who underwent Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy. Thanks to this research, it is thought that the pain level and complications will decrease and the comfort level will increase in patients who undergo TENS application.

The research will be carried out in Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine Balcalı Application and Research Hospital Urology Outpatient Clinic. The sample of the research will create volunteer patients, providing research criteria and made prostate biopsy in Urology Outpatient Clinic. Patients consisting of 2 groups as control and experimental (TENS applied) will be determined by randomization. In the power analysis calculated with statistical support, confidence interval of 95%, alpha value 0.05, beta value calculated with 80% power, a total of 80 patients will be included in the control and experimental group, including 40 patients each. The data will be collected by "Personal Information Form", "Pain Assessment Form", "TRUSG-PBx Complication Follow-up Form", "Perianesthesia Comfort Scale Form". The data obtained will be analyzed in SPSS (Statisticial Package for the Social Sciences) package program.

In this context, our research, a comparison will be made by evaluating the effect of TENS application on pain, complications and comfort, in patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. These results, non-pharmacological methods will make great contributions to improving patient outcomes in diagnostic interventions.
